's G Tube Sugery (Everybody's Happy and Content Now.

[Guest guest]

Here's Mrs. Skeptical just saying thank to the ones who " consoled " me and told

me that a feeding tube was a WONDERFUL thing to do for matthew and IT IS!!

It wasn't as bad as when he had tubes put in his ears! It's amazing how well

he did. I am already getting good at feeding (I might could do it in the dark.

lol) I can already see a difference. He probably has gained already. I can't

wait until his first check up. His tummy " looks " full now and his chest is not

sticking out (his ribs showed).

He's getting all his meds and his seizures are MUCH better. NO SIEZURES AT

ALL DURING THE DAY, only 1 at nap and 1 at bedtime. (10 sec seizures)

We can do " stuff " now and I don't have to hold a bottle in his mouth all day

and Now I don't have to worry about him getting BUCK TEETH or aspiration

pneumonia. lol I am still giving him drinks by bottle and a bites of food

whenever he can handle it but if he coughs, gags or swallows funny the first

time, I can just give it in the tube. Even the hole where the tube is not that

bad, even with that long catheter. I can imagine it will be just great whenever

he get the mickey.

What's really neat is I can feed him while he's asleep if I don't think he got

enough nutrition for the day. I had ran out of a med and by the time my husband

got back from the pharmacy he was asleep so I just crushed and put in the tube.

THis is a life saver,, literally.

had a g tube put in yesterday. It took

only 21 minutes. He didn't have to have the

Nissin (he didn't have reflux so he didn't have

to have the " longer' surgery where they wrap the

stomach " . He is already getting meds through the

tube. We were suppose to start giving some food

through the tube and go home today but for some

reason, it hasn't happened yet. It's hospital,

and of course, that's the way it goes. He did

really good. It was like getting tube in his ears

or something. It even looks better than what i

thought it would. Anyway, I thought I would

updated everyone and thanks praying for him..

everything went just PERFECT. He didn't even

cough or gag after cominup out of the anesthesia.

That was a real miracle.

I'll update my web page soon. Of course I have

pictures!!
